Just went through this myself... The sender wire is under the airbox.
Mine had fallen off. I just replaced all my gauges with good,
mechanical VDO gauges, now I know what ACTUAL temperature my engine is
at, as well as my oil pressure (and these things are accurate. I was a
bit low, and it would change with acceleration because I was starving
the sender). I wouldn't worry too much about it, but check out your
sender and gauge when you get a chance, and I highly recommend going
with good mechanical gauges.
